• First implementation in 2018.
• Friday evening to Sunday evening.
• 4 Challenge Partners (companies) present a challenge (from their company) to the approximately 120 IT brains present.
• They work on it for 48 hours and then present their solutions.
• Each challenge has a winner. There will also be an overall hack winner team.
• The prizes for the Challenge winners will be provided by the company. The prizes for the Hack Winner Team will be awarded by the organizer.

• Receive innovative solutions for the challenges submitted!
• Are there any topics or ideas that you would like to address, develop or validate?
• 100 – 150 people take up the challenge!
• During 48 hours, creative, interdisciplinary teams deal with the challenge and develop highly committed and unconventional solutions.
• It will be a unique and inspiring framework to create innovative solutions that are unthinkable in a conventional environment.

The broader a challenge is formulated, the broader the result will be. If you already have concrete ideas, then you should formulate them.
What we and the participants need:

• Description of the company (2-5 sentences) *
• General description of the challenge (5-10 sentences) *
• Description of the problem (3-6 sentences) *
• Context and background
• Requirements for the solution (minimum one sentence) *
• Further notes (e.g. Links)

A few examples of how a challenge can be formulated can be found here: https://www.hackwinterthur.ch/challenges/
